    "description": "The nude female figure has her arms pressed to the sides and no modeling of the hands. The piece, stained brown, is in the round. The legs are broken off at the knees and a portion of the upper right arm is missing.Such figures were called dolls, but have been shown to be fertility amulets. They are found in many female burials.",
